I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

The Origin Heaven Sect had a grand undertaking, and naturally, its expenses were also large. Although there was a wealthy Sect Leader to foot the bill, a sect still needed to balance its income and expenditure. Development required planning and couldn't rely solely on a single economic source. What if Luo Mo went into seclusion for decades at a time in the future? They would need their own businesses.

Having the Ancient Clans as a source of extra income wasn't bad. They could also earn some profit from this transaction.

This transaction was initiated by the Demon God Palace. Initially, the Demon God Xiao Yan had commissioned the Origin Heaven Sect to construct the sacred land of the Demon God Palace. The elders of the Origin Heaven Sect originally didn't want to take on this business, after all, it involved the Demon Clan, and they had grudges with the Ji family and Jiang family of the human race.

However, Luo Mo stepped forward and agreed, so they could only comply.

On second thought, it wasn't a big deal. Didn't the Sect Leader have a great feud with the Yaoguang Holy Land in the past? Now they still interacted with each other.

Therefore, the Origin Heaven Sect accepted this job.

It was just that this time, the Demon God Palace actually used Ancient Clan creatures to pay the bill, requesting to expand the original plan. Expanding the plan would naturally require more materials and a larger workload. Using these Ancient Clan creatures to offset the debt…

It wasn't impossible. Anyway, the Sect Leader had spoken. They could resell these Ancient Clan creatures to Yaoguang and make a profit in between.

After all, they didn't have sales channels, and they had never sold people before. Moreover, these weren't ordinary people, but elite war soldiers of the Ancient Clans, with many powerful figures and kings. Currently, many human forces were only supported by powerful figures, and even Dao-severing kings were rare.

Therefore, the price of these goods was difficult to determine, but it was definitely not cheap. Finding a force that could swallow the goods was also not an easy task. Currently, it seemed that only Yaoguang had the strength to do so. Their Da Luo Realm had been making too much money recently.

Then go to Yaoguang.

Moreover, these Ancient Clan creatures could be used to their full potential in Yaoguang.

Some could produce the Power of Faith, and the rest could be skinned, have their tendons extracted, and be used to make tools and refine medicine. Yaoguang's industrial chain was very complete. The Holy Master of Yaoguang, Jiang Li, was a master of alchemy and weapon refinement, and had cultivated many disciples, making it convenient to process these Ancient Clan creatures.

Although for Luo Mo, whether it was the Demon God Palace, the Origin Heaven Sect, or Yaoguang, they were all his forces, was there any point in passing a group of Ancient Clan goods back and forth in his hands?

There was still meaning. The economy needed to circulate. As long as it could circulate, it could create more wealth, cultivate more cultivators, and harvest more Power of Faith, Power of Luck, and Power of Karma.

Let this world supply everything he needed for cultivation.

Prosperity would bear fruit, while internal friction was like cultivating a Gu King.

Moreover, in Yaoguang, these Ancient Clan creatures could become means of production, used as tools.

For example, reclamation, to make this world a better place, to strive for a promotion channel for the bottom cultivators, and to do some things they wouldn't have done before. Currently, it was most appropriate for Yaoguang to promote this matter.

Demon Clan, Yaoguang, Origin Heaven Sect.

With the three forces standing together, Luo Mo's foundation was very stable. The Big Dipper had become his base, and he needed to obtain sufficient resources here to move forward.

"It's time for the Pure Yang system to replace the Source Stone system."

Pure Yang Mirrors, such powerful Source Weapons, were difficult to manufacture, and the core materials were hard to find, but it was not difficult for Luo Mo to create a Source Weapon that could produce Pure Yang Qi, as long as he had the materials. Luo Mo could easily replicate it now, imprinting his Pure Yang Origin Heaven Law into it, but its combat power would definitely be far inferior to the Pure Yang Mirror.

However, the newly manufactured Source Weapon was only used to produce Pure Yang Qi and did not require combat power. Its function was more extreme and would exist like a bank.

That is to say, Luo Mo could issue currency in the Big Dipper, just like the various basic pills in the Eternal Life World, and everyone would trade with pills.

It was really exhausting.

… …

After consulting Luo Mo, Hall Master Tuoba asked another hall master to be responsible for this matter and negotiate with Yaoguang.

This transaction involved a huge amount of money. There were many powerful figures and kings captured, not to mention ordinary Sendai Ancient Clans, and Ancient Clans in the Dragon Transformation Realm and Four Extremes Realm.

There had never been such a transaction before. Although Da Luo Realm had transactions for pets, mounts, and war beasts, the transaction volume had always been small, and the market was not large. This time, so many Ancient Clans appeared directly, making Yaoguang feel a headache.

A single king's divine weapon was already worth a lot, and the price of a powerful figure's weapon was not cheap, let alone living kings and powerful figures, and they were still Ancient Clans. This bill was difficult to calculate.

There was no way, the elders working in Yaoguang in Da Luo Realm could only ask Yao Xi for instructions.

Because this time the scale was too large, they couldn't swallow such a large order at all, and they had no right to decide on a large amount of capital flow, and they couldn't make the decision.

《Coincidentally》

Jiang Li had just finished his cultivation, and Yao Xi happened to see Jiang Li returning when she returned from Da Luo Realm, and was accepting everyone's congratulations.

"Congratulations to the Holy Master, this time he cut the Dao and became a king, and his strength has greatly improved!"

"Breaking through the King Realm and becoming a Saint is just around the corner!"

Yao Xi heard these words as soon as she came back, and understood that her partner had broken through to the King Realm, successfully cut the Dao, and the King Body had been completed.

Coupled with the previously appeared Divine Forbidden, Jiang Li's strength would not be at a disadvantage even against the Ancestral King.

After cutting the Dao, one must step out of one's own path. Jiang Li's appearance in Yaoguang this time made him a king, and the speed of his cultivation improvement, even Wei Wei's immortal spirit physique could not keep up.

It is said that cutting the Dao is a hurdle. Historically, there have been many geniuses who cultivated extremely fast, creating records, but they were stuck in front of the cutting the Dao hurdle and could not make any progress until they died of old age.

And those who can pass this hurdle, understand their own hearts, and find their own path, then the sky is the limit!

Jiang Li's successful cutting of the Dao undoubtedly boosted the morale of the entire Yaoguang. With such a Holy Master, Yaoguang's future is promising, and perhaps the Great Emperor of this life will be born in their Yaoguang!

Jiang Li saw Yao Xi and beckoned her to come to his side.

"Just came back from Da Luo Realm?"

"Yes, I encountered something that needs you to make a decision." Yao Xi's beautiful eyes sparkled, watching her partner move forward step by step, his brilliance surpassing all the geniuses of ancient and modern times, with an invincible momentum, and her heart was naturally happy.

"The main hall will discuss matters."

The main hall was discussing matters, and the people had already changed.

Most of the old figures of Li Daoqing and Ji Tongchen's generation had only a little bit of lifespan left extended by pills, and recently they had all entered closed-door cultivation, and would not stop until they broke through.

So now in Yaoguang, many things are handled by the middle-aged and young generations.

The middle-aged generation is the generation of Li Daoqing's eldest disciple Chu Lingkong, with a large number of people, and the young generation is naturally the rising stars such as Jiang Li, Ye Fan, Li Rui, Wei Wei, and Yao Xi, with a small number of people, but in terms of strength, they are stronger.

Because the young generation are all geniuses, with special physiques, ancient holy bodies, immortal spirit eyes, and… sea king bodies.

It feels very outrageous, when did the sea king body become so strong?

In fact, the younger generation is not weak either, especially Jiang Li's disciples, Huang Hongyi, Long Dao, and the others, some of whom are called Qing Pu, the youngest, but his cultivation has directly entered Sendai, making the eyes of the older generation almost pop out.

Cultivating for less than ten years to enter Sendai, and his combat power is still very strong, without being dragged down by the too fast promotion, and his forbidden area has not declined. This cultivation speed is even more terrifying than Jiang Li's back then. Where did these little monsters come from?

In a few years, the elders like Chu Lingkong will not be opponents.

It's just that they don't need to discuss matters at this time, they are all playing or cultivating.

Most of the affairs in the sect do not need Jiang Li to make decisions himself, and the people below can handle them well, but this time the matter is of great importance, so he came back specially.

Yao Xi said that the Origin Heaven Sect wanted to trade the Ancient Clans, and put forward an amazing price, "… 12 billion catties of pure source, this is the price proposed by the Origin Heaven Sect."

"12 billion?!"

Chu Lingkong, as a senior, was the eldest disciple of the previous Holy Master and a senior brother-level figure. He had been helping to handle various affairs of Yaoguang and should be calm, but he couldn't help but exclaim after hearing this huge number.

12 billion catties of pure source, what is this concept?

It's hard to say whether they have that much source even if they sell their Yaoguang.

But Yao Xi's next sentence directly shocked everyone again. Yao Xi said, "Before I came back, I sorted out the various industries of Da Luo Realm and found that such a payment requires using all the circulating funds and most of the inventory of pills and magic weapons to pay, so I dare not make a decision."

Chu Lingkong:?

Ye Fan:?

The others were also shocked. Da Luo Realm actually had so much money? 12 billion could actually be paid out?

This is cash flow! Yao Xi didn't mention real estate at all, only funds and inventory. Does this mean our Yao Guang is already so rich?

"I see," Jiang Li pondered slightly, then said, "My personal cash flow is sufficient, but I can't directly give it to the Yuan Tian Sect, nor can I accept their price."

Everyone gasped, and the temperature in Yao Guang's council hall plummeted.

Your private treasury can directly pay?

So rich!

Extremely rich!

Incredibly rich!

With a casual display, everyone was shocked into numbness.

Can a person really be this rich?

"The price must be lowered, and the payment must be converted into pills and magical treasures, and paid to the Yuan Tian Sect in installments," Jiang Li said.

Yao Xi remained calm and immediately offered a suggestion, "In that case, we can use this opportunity to expand our pill refining and weapon forging industries, train more disciples, and acquire more spiritual lands and dragon veins. For the Yuan Tian Sect, we can create a time difference with installment payments and earn the money back."

Li Rui also came back to his senses and asked a question, "What will be done with the Archaic races after we buy them back? Refine blood pills?"

When Jiang Li first took in disciples for the Holy Lord's lineage, he left behind some pill formulas, including various methods for refining blood pills. Archaic creatures are similar to demon races, focusing on the power of bloodlines, with strong essence and blood, making them suitable for refining blood pills.

Blood pills are a widely applicable elixir. Not to mention cultivating the Blood Soul Secret Technique and the Human Immortal Secret Technique, even ordinary cultivators can use them to strengthen their foundation and enhance their blood energy.

Ye Fan immediately said, "That would be too wasteful."

He had seen the creatures converted by Luo Mo, which is why he said this.

"We can use secret techniques to control these Archaic creatures. Whether it's generating faith power or developing land, it would be more useful than killing them directly."

Chu Lingkong said, "Whether it's producing faith power or developing land, we need to be able to control them. I'm afraid many Archaic creatures would rather die than surrender to our human race, right?"

Li Rui sneered, "Those who are willing to surrender will be kept, and those who are not will be killed and used for refining pills."

Ye Fan looked at Jiang Li, waiting for him to speak. He knew that Luo Mo had a secret technique that could forcibly convert others, regardless of their consent.

With Ye Fan's setup, Jiang Li directly said, "I have a secret technique that can convert others. Although it's a bit troublesome, it can convert all those Archaic races and make them devoutly believe in me."

Everyone was incredulous. There's such a secret technique?

The last person who was this outrageous was the Buddhist, Amitabha the Great.

"Ye Fan is right. These Archaic creatures can be used to develop land. Most of the vast Southern Region is still uninhabited, and there are many dragon veins and spiritual lands, beautiful mountains and rivers, that can be utilized to develop the mortal population, increase the proportion of cultivators, and strengthen the power of my Yao Guang."

Jiang Li used his divine power to create a map of the Southern Region out of thin air. The places with cultivation sects were few, like isolated islands in the sea. Most places were undeveloped. Currently, the entire Beidou was like this, with vast land and sparse population. The Eastern Wilderness and Southern Region were considered to have relatively large populations. In the Northern Plains and Southern Ridge, it was common to see hundreds of thousands of miles of uninhabited land.

With this new force of Archaic races, the progress of land development would be much faster. Within two hundred years, completing the development of most of the suitable areas in Beidou would be no problem at all. By then, the population of Beidou would probably explode.

As for the Supreme Beings in the forbidden zones?

Presumably, they wouldn't be free enough to jump out and stop it. Even if some Archaic races asked them for instructions, they would likely say:

Let them live!

After all, the more people there are, the more enjoyable it will be for them to eat all-you-can-eat blood food in the future.

On the point of increasing the population, Luo Mo and the Supreme Beings in the forbidden zones were undoubtedly in agreement, only their starting points and desired results were different.

Even if there is a Dark Unrest in the future, we can't stop eating for fear of choking. We should develop when we need to develop, and face the situation as it comes.

With Jiang Li as the Holy Lord, there weren't many disputes in the discussions of various details at this meeting.

Considering the needs of the Demon God Palace, they decided to increase the export of materials, while finalizing various details, such as the bottom line for installment payments, the amount of money, the ratio of materials to pills, and so on.

After confirming these, they would send people to negotiate and haggle with the people of the Yuan Tian Sect.

After all, we can't just accept whatever price they say. If the Yuan Tian Sect asks for 12 billion sky-high prices, we'll have to bargain them down.

Although they were all Luo Mo's industries, no one except Ye Fan knew. They were just fighting for the interests of the sect.

The Yao Guang high-level meeting ended, and Yao Xi left in a hurry. It was better for her to handle this matter, after all, it was of great importance.

Ye Fan waited for the others to leave before curiously asking, "What are you planning to do with such a large investment?"

"Land development and growth."

Faith power, luck, and the power of karma are all needed by Luo Mo, and this is also laying out the groundwork for the future.

Now, only Ye Fan, Luo Mo, and Wei Wei were in the Holy Lord's Hall.

Wei Wei was always quiet and rarely spoke, only listening to them.

"What are you planning to do next? I see that your bounty hasn't been withdrawn yet. Is there any other use for the divine soil?" Ye Fan cultivated the pure Origin Celestial Master Secret Technique, which was very different from Luo Mo's current Origin Technique. Traditional Origin Techniques don't require divine soil.

"Open a bank."

Luo Mo took out two bottles of pills, one for Ye Fan and one for Wei Wei, "This is Pure Yang Pill, which is better than Origin Stone and will be the basic currency of the future."

Ye Fan took out one, the pill was like glazed glass, like a miniature sun, the vitality was pure and flawless, put it in his mouth and swallowed it, it would automatically merge with divine power, blood energy, divine thoughts, etc., purify impurities, improve the quality of divine power, and increase Dao practice.

Eating it directly increases cultivation?

Ye Fan was first surprised, and then poured the entire bottle of Pure Yang Pills into his stomach.

Wei Wei was much more refined, carefully comprehending the mysteries of this Pure Yang Pill.

However, it was a precious pill refined by the Origin Celestial Master's methods and the combined power of the nine divine soils. Although the total amount of vitality contained in a single pill was not high, the profound meaning of the nine yang transforming into pure yang was indeed thought-provoking. Especially Wei Wei's pair of immortal spirit eyes, which were very sharp and could see through the origin, just comprehending the mystery of this Pure Yang Pill allowed her to further enlighten her immortal spirit eyes.

The effect of taking this kind of pill for the first time was undoubtedly the best. After the whole body has been washed, the effect would not be so obvious, but even so, the pure aura of this pill was more suitable for cultivation than the divine source. Pure yang and flawless was a realm pursued by cultivators.

The divine source was close to the origin of heaven and earth, but this pill was pure yang, close to the human body or the origin of all cultivators, making it easier for people to understand the Tao and increase their Dao practice.

Ye Fan swallowed a whole bottle of Pure Yang Pills, which turned into a pure yang energy, nourishing his body, divine power, and divine thoughts. Even his magic weapon—the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron—could absorb pure yang energy, which made Ye Fan understand that if he used Pure Yang Pills to refine his cauldron, the effect would be very good and it could make his cauldron stronger.

Almost omnipotent, this kind of pill!

"No wonder you said you wanted to open a bank. If it's this kind of pill, it can definitely replace the Origin Stone."

Ye Fan had also been in business for a few years after graduation, and instantly understood Luo Mo's idea, "If you control the issuance of pills, do you still want to make a fuss about the exchange of Origin Stones?"

"Of course."

"The Yuan Tian Sect is also yours. I see that the Yuan Tian Sect has been very active recently, building divine soil palaces everywhere. Do you still want to engage in real estate?"

"Is there anything wrong with that?"

Luo Mo said proudly, "Luxury spirit-gathering palaces, located at the beginning of the dragon vein, with feng shui personally arranged by the Origin Earth Master, the speed of cultivation is three times that of the outside world, who wouldn't want to buy it? If it really doesn't work, renting is also an option."

Ye Fan had to admire, "Amazing, amazing. Others are cultivating, but you're playing with finance and real estate. This is too interesting."

"Haha, I wouldn't play if it wasn't interesting."

"Get me some more, one bottle is not enough at all." Ye Fan couldn't wait.

"Don't let anyone find out. The Pure Yang Pill will only be sold publicly after a while."

"Don't worry."

Ye Fan stole a large cauldron of Pure Yang Pills from Luo Mo, not forgetting to give half to Wei Wei.

This gave Wei Wei a guilty conscience, as if she was sharing the spoils.

After Ye Fan left, only Wei Wei and Luo Mo were left. She asked, "How long are you planning to hide it from Senior Sister and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi?"

Lies will always be revealed one day, and disguises will also be taken off.

"Why don't you ask me how long I'm going to hide it from you?"

Wei Wei was a little surprised, "Do you have any other identities?"

"Guess."

"… …"

I guess your big head.

… …

"The Heavenly Emperor's Son?"

The Dragon Girl was tall and slender, with long purple hair draped over her shoulders. As a princess, the advantage of her bloodline was fully reflected in her appearance.

At this time, she looked at the distant Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness, her eyes seemed to contain a pool of purple divine lake, sparkling with waves, thinking of what her ancestral king had just told her, and nodded slightly.

"Since he let you come back, it means he intends to be close to my Myriad Dragon Nest. We should also pay a visit to thank him. At this time, my clan's predicament is obvious, and we need such a strong aid. I wonder if the Eight Divine Generals are still there? If they are, then the Yuan Tian Sect will be worry-free."

"Is my sister going to visit the Heavenly Emperor's Son? Why didn't you tell me? Let's go together."
